<P>
<P>A framebuffer device is an abstraction for the graphic hardware. It
represents the frame buffer of some video hardware, and allows application
software to access the graphic hardware through a well-defined interface,
so that the software doesn't need to know anything about the low-level
interface stuff [Taken from Geert Uytterhoeven's framebuffer.txt in the
linux kernel sources]
